REVIEW: Cloud Nothings LIVE at Reverb Lounge // Live Music //Punk Rock // Indie / Idle Ray (VIDEO)

This week, I'm reviewing a recent show from punk rock trio, Cloud Nothings. The Cleveland band hit Reverb Lounge in Omaha as part of its Final Summer Tour.

I missed the first band, Tender Grease, but arrived just in time for the second, Idle Ray. This Michigan four piece indie band was good, despite the goofy eye make-up. I liked them so much I wanted to buy their record. But after hitting the vacant merch table three times, I had to bail. Maybe next time.

Cloud Nothings were exactly what you'd want from a punk band. The songs were loud, fast, and catchy.

Cleveland, Ohio punk rockers, Cloud Nothings, returned to Omaha on Tuesday, June 4 for a show at Reverb. This was the second or third time I have seen the band. The band's newest LP, Final Summer, was released in April.

The opening band was Idle Ray. I really liked the band, especially the guitar playing from Fred Thomas.

Laura Colwell (pictured) and Sun June played a great set last night (3/22/24) at Reverb. This was my first time seeing the Texas indie band, though Sun June's last two albums made my Top 20 of the Year lists. So, I was pretty excited they were finally playing in Omaha.

Opening the show was NYC band, Wild Pink. I didn't know anything about the band prior to the show. They were excellent. The set got better with each song. I picked up a Wild Pink t-shirt after they played.

The crowd was small, but enthusiastic. There were a few fans who really wanted to hear the song, "Karen O." I'm actually not sure if it was on the set list, but the band happily obliged.

There will be video shortly on Youtube.

Caught Portland, Maine indie rockers, Weakened Friends, tonight at Reverb Lounge. Really dug the set, so I bought a copy of the band's newest LP, Quitter. I shot some video and that will be up on my Youtube channel at some point in the future.
